I am so surprised at how pedestrian and slow Keane is. Every movement is like a 50 year old man playing a game of football after a running a half marathon the day before.

Would not mind seeing Keane and Williams both go and bring in an outstanding centre half to play alongside Holgate with Mori and Jags as reserve.

I have been very disappointed with Keane, but every now and again I think - ok he looks really good here, composed, decent pass and near-dominant in the air.

Worth sticking with I think, but the reality is you probably need a double threat type cb to go next to him - a physical monster who can ball.

Also - worried about judging anyone based on only what I’ve seen over the last 12 months of hot garbage.

Edit: however, you can function in this league with shite cbs, but you absolutely need superstars up top & quality in CM, that should be our top priority!

I knew that someday I was going to die, and I knew that before I died, two things would happen to me. That number one; I would regret my entire life, and number two; that I would want to live my life over again.

Didn't someone mention that Keane was having some mental problems as well? His confidence was rock bottom, hopefully a new manager, new training regime and a strong dominant partner in central defence will get him back to his best.

He could flourish under somebody like Silva, but could also be over exposed.

Need an athletic brute of a type next to him I think.

As much as we need to surround him with pace he still needs to step up to the plate himself and work on his physical attributes. For a professional athlete of 25 years old his athletic ability is shockingly poor. Whether he forks out for a personal fitness coach to maybe work on his power and acceleration off the mark or other mobility improvements he needs to do something, as I've not seen as leaden footed footballer as him for a long time.
